<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 300937, member: 68&quot;]Saying states coins aren&#039;t real is like saying people who collect bust coins aren&#039;t &quot;real&quot; coin collectors because the coins they collect weren&#039;t struck before the fall of Rome or 3c nickel collectors aren&#039;t &quot;real&quot; collectors because the denomination doesn&#039;t exist any longer.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>How about the only &quot;real&quot; coin collectors collect coins that are still in circulation?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Or maybe &quot;real&quot; coin collectors only collect coins in extremely high grade.&nbsp; Why would a &quot;real&quot; coin collector want an old worn out coin that is probably dirty and might have cooties?&nbsp; They even used to clean the things deadly poisons so it&#039;s best to wash your hands if you actually touch one.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe &quot;real&quot; collectors actually collect old pottery or indian arrowheads.&nbsp; Maybe we&#039;re all doing it wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah,&nbsp; I&#039;m sure there&#039;s no reason to worry anyone might take offense at being called the things that are hurled at so many of the newbies to the hobby.&nbsp; And while they&#039;re busily not being insulted it encourages them to get more interested in &quot;real&quot; coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
